Why would you tell them? All you have done is change a bolt on part, ok it's a large bolt on part but that's it. Would you tell them if you had a rear section welded in?

I can't see why it wouldn't work, but it's not going to be a very nice drive - revs will be slow to rise and fall.

I am going to get involved and would suggest that @DanClarke start a new fred somewhere in "general" I will not quote all your posts or others. But its pretty simple. you said you checked and didn't have 12v at the coil when you had to leave...
